Makes with the working
V-

Shiny / Sounds
V-
- Ah, OGRE. The engine whose last stable release was in 2013.
- It shows.
- Even with everything on 11 it looks …dated. Not bad, just plain.
- Soundtrack and effect are spot on.
J-
- It sounds a lot like diablo 2, which makes sense considering they used the same guy
- Sometimes it sounds a little too much like diablo 2 though
- The framerate is inconsistent, but it doesn’t really bother me too much
P-
- Wow, the framerate is all over the place.
- With everything turned up to 11:
- In the main menu it’s locked at 56 FPS
- On character creation it skyrockets to 22163
- And in-game it fluctuates between 40 and 70.
- Disabling Bloom makes it slightly more stable around 75.
- Soundtrack by the guy who made the OST for Diablo. Mr Matt Uelmen himself.
- It’s so good, in fact, that I’m going to forgive the FPS inconsistencies.
Total-
Control
V-
- I love the sound of my mouse clicking 50 times a second.
- click click click click click click press I click click click click click click click
- Why can’t I right click on an enemy and be fkn done /w it?
- I don’t like controls that make me think about the amount of damage i’m inflicting on ze gerbil.
J-
- This is pretty much standard ARPG fare, but it’s damn solid
- You click on the things, so you can click on moar things.
- Sometimes you press keyboard buttons so you can click on more things
P-
- It has the exact same issue the first one did.
- If the screen fills up with too many enemies you can’t click to move in any reliable way and that’ll get you killed a lot of the time.
- That aside you click on things and things react appropriately.
Total-
FUN
V-
- I played 40 something minutes the first time I launched it. That’s hella rare.
- I really like the game but really hate the controls.
- I’m also not a fan of how quickly it becomes inventory manager 2015.
- You might want to play it on hard since “normal” seemed more like casual.
- After a few quests I had stockpiled so many mana/health potions that I was screaming YOLO and attacking FK all everything.
- Seriously, the baddies shite items.
- Multiplayer worked as expected minus having to create a separate account outside of Steam.
J-
- I will admit to being something of a torchlight fanboy
- It takes the best parts of the diablo series and refines them very well
- I completed a quest to put the lotion in the basket and got a mask made out of human face
P-
- Yeah… It’s good, it’s very good.
- It’s exactly what Diablo III should’ve been hadn’t Blizzard fired most of these people.
- Because yes, these are most of the same people that made Diablo I and II.
Total-
Final –
Considering this thing goes on sell more often than your mum it’s worth a buy.
